Critics Review

I defy you not to fall in love with Milo . . . What Milo Saw is a reminder to us all that in life, perspective is everything. A modern-day fable and undoubtedly a future classic
Clare Mackintosh, author of Sunday Times Top Ten bestselling I Let You Go
From the first page, we were hooked . . . If you loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, this is for you . . . Brilliant! *****
Heat
A poignant and very clever read - you'll fall in love with Milo!
Company
Not dissimilar to Christopher in Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. If you enjoyed that book you'll love this one . . . A truly heartwarming story of family, love and loyalty . . . It might be wise to have a box of tissues at the ready . . . Beautifully written and complete with a powerful message, What Milo Saw will make you think, and then pick up the phone to call your mum.
Daily Express
A life-affirming read . . . Warm, wise and insightful

Stylist
The characterisation and dialogue make it easy to feel empathy for the family and readers will cheer Milo on to achieve his goal
Sun
[An] understated and likeable tale that just might restore your faith in human nature
Bella
Deals with serious themes including family life and the treatment of the elderly in society. The novel addresses these issues with sensitivity and good humour reminiscent of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Irish Tatler
A challenging and moving story about the power of love between generations
Image magazine
Absolutely delightful . . . Everyone should read this book; it holds laughter and tears, but above all, it has something similar to a beating heart. This is not a book to be missed!
Novelicious
A carefully constructed comment on how appearances can be deceiving . . . A heart-warming read showing children sometimes know better than grown-ups
Press Association
It is impossible to resist falling in love with young Milo . . . A spectacular story that I will remember for a long time . . . I really do recommend it
